Question:

Hello, I found this piece of red wing saffron ware @ my local goodwill. I have searched the internet to help identify it, With no luck!

The piece is labeled RED WING SAFFRON WARE on bottom, Blue in color. It is 7-1/2″ tall, The widest width is 7-1/2″, The bottom is 5-3/4″, The opening at top is 4-3/4″, It has a lid, And the color is kinda yellow/creamy off white.

If you could identify it, Or any other information would be appreciated.

Thank you, Wayne

Answer:

Wayne, I don’t collect saffron ware, but have seen them around.  Your piece is most likely a canister for storing flour or sugar.   Al Kohlman
